Hello everyone
I am totally new to the forums and new to pc specs, apart from the basics, so please forgive my ignorance.
I will be paying someone to build me a custom high powered gaming PC in January, saving up the money as we speak, and the guy who is doing this wants specs (obviously). I know nothing about these apart from OS, Ram, GB/TB and little things like that so this poses a huge problem for me.
I will have £1000 ($1600) to spend on this (will be willing to max out at £1200) and my only requirements I know so far are :-
- Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
- Nvidea graphics card
- 16GB Ram (I know people say gaming rigs only need 8GB but I want to play it safe just in case at some point in the future this changes.)
- I am thinking about 4TB for the first Hdd (gaming Hdd) and 2TB for the second (Movie Hdd) with room for 2 or 3 more Hdd (I think I am using hdd in the right context or I may mean drives)
- It will be running through my 3dTV so I do not need a monitor.
- A good power pack and really good (silent if possible) fans
- I am not sure if this is possible but if so also a battery back up just in case the power cuts out so I can turn off my system normally instead of it cutting out instantly.
This is all I know and know nothing about motherboards or anything like that. Can I please have some recommendations on specs for a high end custom built gaming pc that will run (hopefully) over the next few years before needing an upgrade that will run games on max settings (including bloom and everything else set to max)
The guy building it says he charges a one off fee around £50 for building it and makes a small profit on each piece it needs (I never asked him how much as I thought that would be rude). This may make it £1000 maximum as the other £200 may be his profits.
Thank you in advance and I shall check back tomorrow, my apologies if this has been posted in the wrong place.
